Sorry bro.
Kinda late trying to learn stuff,am 50.
Absorbing is laggy.lol
Even went to the computer shop today.They also confirmed that all files downloaded can be opened and they also showed me how to.
So ,at the shop we tried to flash my device.Opened the _LT 18i_ kernel_down_upgrade.7z there was2 files in it.Kept it aside.Opened flashtool folder the was this colomns as per you screenshot.Ticked verification.Dragged the LT_18 down into the flash screen.Then the screen popped up to connect device with phone off and holding the back button.Did that and clicked ok.
Error.Something was wrong.Then the computer sales stuff told me that we had to get a Sony Ericsson xperia arc manual driver disc installed in the computer.Another setback cos I don't remember getting a disc in the arc box!

DRIVERS

m 99% sure dis ll fix it..
thanks to DooMLoRD

Thanks mr_torture. Xperia Arc rooted. now i just have to find some kernel which is stable with stock to overclock the cpu.

No bro,what you have given me is the flashtool drivers for the device but what I am after is for the computer itself which will the recognize flashtool.I thought that OEM would work but when I tried downloading it,it requested for a disc too.
So I got to go to the SE service centre in the morning to try to get a hold of the disc.Damn disappointed.**** happens but on a regular basis for me I guess.lol.

Very frustrated, all instructions to root my LT18i start with "Root using android emulator trick"
What is it and how do you do it?
